Has anyone out there used the PipeMedia/PipeCall PSTN gateway? Anything good/bad to say about it? I'm considering using them for a new customer. They seem to have good rates, good provisioning tools and (better still) give commission on usage to dealers. -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Fax: 0871 661 1756 Hemel Hempstead UK

I'm looking for recommendations for UK-based VoIP-PSTN gateways. They should ideally offer: - IAX connection - Multiple simultaneous calls on a single account - Lower call rates than BT Business - Auto-top up or invoicing in arrears I can find several that offer one of these facilities, but none that offer all. Thanks! -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead, UK

Now this is really frustrating. Everything was working fine, and now it isn't ... I don't think I've changed anything that would affect this, but I guess you never can be too sure. My setup is as follows: SIP softphone (SJphone) connected to Asterisk running my Linux NAT firewall box. This is all on the internal network. Asterisk then dialing out through various means - SIP to

I'm building a phone-in demo system to use for introducing Asterisk to prospective clients. One of the things I'm wary of is their likely preconceptions that VoIP systems will have poor audio quality. As a result, I'd like to ensure that the voice prompts I'm using have the best possible audio quality. Is it possible to use sound files at higher than 8kHz sampling? My callers

I have no analog line interfaces on my asterisk system, but I do have two UK 0870 numbers routed to two separate VoIP accounts (one with FWD, one with gossiptel). Asterisk is configured to register with these accounts. I get voice calls through just fine this way. I thought I could get one of these 0870 numbers to route through to rxfax, thus allowing folks to fax me directly. I've set up

Can someone confirm what I should expect the correct behaviour to be on incoming calls if I have multiple SIP phones configured for the same username? I'd expect all the phones registered under the username that that extension is associated with to ring, and the first one that answers gets it. What I get, is just the first phone that registered gets a ring. The second one doesn't ring at

I'm curious as to folks experiences in selling asterisk-based solutions. In sales-speak, what are the common "compelling reasons to buy"? I can think of the following potential ones, but I'm keen to find out what seems to work in practise: - Customer wants to cut cost of calls, implements * and signs up to a VoIP/PSTN gateway - Customer wants a new PBX but doesn't want to

Looking for folks experiences with ISDN BRI cards in the UK ... what's good and what's bad and any gotchas. Thx -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead UK

I'm using the SJphone softphone, and I've got a nice little SIP-only setup, using (amongst others) stanaphone, VOIPtalk and FWD. But I'd like to be able to use my SJphones to dial directly to folks who provide a SIP URI, eg: 100@calluk.com, without either having to switch profiles in SJphone (to direct SIP) or having to define calluk.com (in this example) as a destination in

I'm having problems in dialing numbers over SIP that include characters from the UK international phone number conventions. I have my contacts in Outlook, with the numbers represented as: +<countrycode> (<area code>) <numberpart> <numberpart> eg: +44 (20) 7834 1234 or: +1 (801) 555 1234 I'm using the SJphone softphone, doing my testing through the Stanaphone

I have the need for a slightly odd * configuration for testing purposes. I have a working * setup with SIP softphones, VoIP trunks and a single X100P clone for PSTN access. The PSTN line I'm using for testing is also in use by other folks. For incoming calls, I'd like to set is up so that * functions as a voicemail backstop on this line. This much is working fine. For outgoing, I'd

I'm interested to hear how folks are handling NAT SIP routing issues "in the wild" for commercial use. Are you using a commerical SIP-aware NAT router solution? If so, what? Are you using a software SIP-proxy like SER or siproxd? If so, which? Do you set everything to "canreinvite=no" in sip.conf? Any comments about real-world implementations would be welcome. Thanks

I found some postings from Google (notably from Mark Spencer) about successful integration of a legacy Toshiba Strata system and Asterisk. I am also facing that current dilemma. The general legacy solutions that I can come up with is very easy -- either making Asterisk a "proxy" (or frontdoor) to the Toshiba system, or have it operate behind the Toshiba via regular extensions. I'm

Hello, I am running error rate analysis. It is my results below. When I compare aov1 and aov2, X square = 4.05, p = 0.044, which indicates that adding the factor "Congruity" improved the fitting of model. However, the following Z value is less than 1 and p value for Z is 1, which means that "Congruity" is not significant at all. Therefore, these two parts are not consistent,

Any one has documented how-tos for making voicetronix openline 4 to work with Asterisk. I have been contacting Australian Digium resellers and Digium cards are not approved in Australia. So I suppose Australian users are interested into putting Voicetronix in use. Any expereience to share will be most appreciated.

Hello, I can't have asterisk working without echo when I place a call from IP phone (SIP or H323) to a PSTN Phone. The called number as no problem with echo but there is a very audible echo in the SIP phone. This situation occurs either when connected with ISDN card thru i4linux driver and with my openline card from voicetronix. Do you have any suggestion fo that? Regards, Daniel ANDRE

One of the suggestions I got for dealing with my analog FXO woes was to look into using a Voicetronix card instead of the Digium. They're more expensive but if it worked better it may be reasonable. They indicated they were compatable with the CVS HEAD version of *. Can someone share with me their experiences with Voicetronix OpenLine and/or OpenSwitch cards with *? I'm specifically

hi there, i've been able to successfully run asterisk with the Voicetronix OpenLine4 card, it can accept calls and function normally. The only problem I'm experiencing so far is getting the card to outdial to a third party. What I'm trying to achieve is basically call bridging, where the caller dials in to asterisk, some IVR plays and then attempts to perform a "transfer"

Thank you very much for this hint. My apologies that I messed up a thread for my post - I had a message open and simply clicked on the link ... slap slap. Would anyone know of a better choice to multiplex three fxo lines into an asterisk box? I can still use three Digium X100P cards, but methinks, a seperate unit would be better. Thanks again, Peter >> I am located in the UK and

Hello! We are located in the UK, and we are planning to replace our old pbx with an asterisk based pbx. For outgoing calls our present pbx is connected to three PSTN lines which all have the same number. Internally, the pbx caters for quite a few extensions, and each extension can make outbound phone calls. Only very rarely does our call volume exceed three simultaneous connections (inside to
